New York Times bestselling author Neal Bascomb delivers a taut and timely forgotten history—equal parts Peaky Blinders and The Departed—of the Molly Maguires, the Irish secret society that terrorized Gilded Age America, and the young immigrant detective who went undercover, alone, to bring them down. The first true-crime saga of the robber-baron age.
Pennsylvania, 1873. Franklin B. Gowen—thirty-five, silver-tongued, ruthless—is president of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad and master of the anthracite coal that fires the nation. Only a miners’ union and its shadowy marshal arm, the Molly Maguires, stand in the way of his absolute control. For years, this secret Irish gang operating in the fearsome coal mountains has sabotaged the industry’s mines of “black gold” and brutally killed its bosses. Gowen hires Allan Pinkerton’s famed detective agency to destroy them, convinced that local law enforcement is too weak—and too corrupt—to win the fight.
